A bank teller's tingly finger pointed Colorado police and the U.S. Secret Service to a 24-year-old man suspected of swapping cocaine-tainted bills for clean currency.

Police and firefighters responded to a San Luis Valley Federal Bank branch in Monte Vista on Friday after the teller at the drive-up window experienced numbness while handling damp dollars that had a strange odor, The Valley Courier reported. A customer was trying to exchange them for larger denominations.
